Just back with my lad having driven down, been royally ripped off at a Service station for food, to arrive at the ground just as they called it off. Was actually stood with the players when the decision was made, they were gobsmacked to say the least. Had a good chat with Neil about it and he reckoned it was the correct decision , admittedly it was extremely boggy from what we could see.
Question for me is how can their Twitter feed say " dry and firm " earlier to get to the state that pitch was in. Ok , I appreciate it had rained heavily and that is unavoidable...however I cannot believe it was " dry and firm" before the rain came down. It rained yes, but not in biblical proportions.
Gutted to say the least, not so much at the expense of the trip because I guess that is the chance you take, more at the apparent amateurism of the folks who implicated conditions were fine. I had double checked before setting off, now having to explain to a gutted 12 year old on how this can happen.
